3-Step Framework for a COVIDsafe Australia.
The Australia Government has implemented a 3-step framework to assist States and Territories in relaxing restrictions. The community is encouraged to;
- Maintain 1.5m distancing
- Maintain good hygiene
- Stay home if unwell
- Frequently clean and disinfect communal areas
- COVIDsafe plan for workplaces and premises
The steps are all subject to expert health advice and can be implemented based on the current COVID-19 conditions in each State and Territory.
- STEP 1: The important first small steps - connect with friends and family - allowing groups of people to be together in homes and in the community. Businesses reopen, and more people return to work.
- STEP 2: Building on slightly larger gatherings and more businesses reopening. Higher risk activities may have tighter restrictions.
- STEP 3: A commitment to reopening of business and the community with minimal restrictions, but underpinned by COVIDsafe ways of living.
